Hands-On: With The Bulgari Octo Maserati, A Limited Edition Column-Wheel Chronograph With Lacquer An
Usually when big brands present co-branded watches, whether with fictional crime-fighting superheroes or prominent aviation firms, there tends to be a what is perhaps a fair amount?of eye-rolling on the part of watch enthusiasts. In essence, these co-branding exercises tend to be much more about quick marketing, buoyed by lots and lots of legal paperwork. I don't think that the Bulgari Octo Maserati is necessarily an exception to this rule, but there is undoubtedly something to say about the understated way that this old Italian brand continues its partnership?with, well, another old Italian brand �C Maserati �C to present a?limited edition timepiece in?celebration of their shared anniversaries in 2014. Plus, the use of a manufacture movement?and two old-world finishing techniques on the dial add a lot more substance to the package. 2 OF 8 A benchmark of Bulgari's watchmaking division, the Octo collection is known for its Art?Deco-influenced angular case design, seen here

Your favorite divers
What are your favorite divers, just based on looks, not comfort? For me the QEII, ceramic and FC in that order, the QEII is just a huge stunner, i contacted a few sellers who claim they can get it, 1 said hencan't, please take off then the adds on c24 if youncan't have it, it's very annoying when they do it, waiting for 1 reply but think it will be the same. The weight will probably stop me from wearing it more than 1-2 hours tops if ever I find one, but it's such a stunner that even looking at it would bring me pleasure, only thing I don't like is the horse head on the back crystal, butncould live with that To help you with your choices here is a link where all the divers are represented, and sorry I couldn't include the new black or white SS with open case back, and the white ceramic, in the poll, so if they are some of our favorites be sure to write them on your answer. Will be interesting to know which are the favorite ones here. Thanks for your time an replies

First Rolex in Singapore
Hello from down under ! I'm off to Turkey next week however will be in Singapore for a couple of days. I've read previously Singapore is an ideal country to make a purchase and I'm looking to join the Rolex club. Does anyone have any valuable advice they can share with me in regards to which AD's or what to look out for etc... Would appreciate any kind of input. Thank you all in advance.

Been eyeing this watch for some time now. Just something about it that I love. Picked it up on Saturday.

Biggest Rolex Store in US Has No Sports Models
So, I walk into the massive Rolex boutique in NYC this afternoon, the one that’s in the same building that houses the U.S. Rolex headquarters .... and not one steel sports model was available, and only a couple of yellow gold models. No Subs of any sort, no Deep Seas, GMTs, no Explorers or IIs, and of course no Daytonas or the new SD. Nothing. Just hundreds of other models, such as DJs, DDs, and women’s watches. Sales rep told me they won’t get any more until after Christmas. Not sure if that’s BS or not, but it seems insane that the stock at the biggest store/dealer in the U.S., which I believe is run by Wempe, doesn’t have any basic sports models heading into the holiday buying season. I knew this was going on in Europe, but I assumed you could still get a steel Sub, for example, with relative ease at a dealer. I assume it’s like this elsewhere across the U.S. Go figure.
